Our family is in decline

Faced with Lance's words, the principal had nothing to say and could only stand aside, waiting for the trial to come.

The reason why she can wait in peace is because she really didn't participate in this matter. The crime is management failure. Even if she is punished, she will probably lose her position as principal.

But it's absolutely impossible to say that she was really willing. She wanted to tear that guy alive.

The school has always been Hamlet's special place, and she has invested a lot of energy in it and has always been cautious.

He has been praised by the lords for promoting comprehensive literacy and education, and has always been a "model" in the lords' mouth.

The previous corruption incidents have not involved the school, and this is a unique honor that no other institution has.

If you want to say that there is a problem in education, then she has nothing to say. She admits it, but it happens to be the school cafeteria. This has little to do with the core functions of the school. It is a place that she usually doesn't pay much attention to. The more she thinks about it, the more angry she becomes.

"My lord, since he admitted it, I suggest the death penalty. It would be better to hang him in the square to warn others of the consequences of committing a crime."

Rosa's idea is very simple. Anyway, she is gone as the principal, so she must take this step!

This sudden sentence frightened the man so much that his legs weakened and he fell to his knees.

"What? Are you going to complain?" Lance was speechless. He glanced at him and frightened him. He had just admitted his guilt, so what else could he say?

"It's not me who's wronged, it's the principal who's wronged..."

"Then shut up, it's not your turn to speak yet."

After seeing that he was honest, Lance turned to look at the principal. You usually seem very kind, why did you suddenly say this?

"I'm going to criticize you for this. We are handling the case, not for personal vendetta. There is a process for handling the case, and what matters is evidence. It is not what he says alone. The chain of evidence must be sufficient, otherwise there will be no People are convinced.

Killing someone is enough to get rid of the problem for a while, but similar situations will definitely happen again in the future. Should you blame a scapegoat and not investigate? It doesn't matter whether his death was in vain at that time, but it will be our responsibility if the child still doesn't have enough to eat. "

Of course, Lance could see the principal's displeasure. This was not meant for her, but for those children. The concept of law enforcement must be taught from the beginning. He did not want those children to act recklessly.

"That's what the adults taught you."

He doesn't need anyone to teach him how to kill someone. What he wants is not to vent his anger, but to make the matter a legal case and handle it as a solid case.

This man who just cares about the canteen cannot do this by himself. Instead, there is a whole chain of interests. Lance wants to catch a group of rats and clean up some garbage.

And under Lance's order, more and more people rushed here.

Rosa is considered the representative of the school. This matter involves the military, so a military representative must be selected to cooperate with the relevant investigation.

The police actually led the investigation, William was the executor of the case, and the lord was responsible for coordinating the matter.

Lance had to wait for everyone to gather before starting, that is, there must be multiple people during the interrogation.

"Go ahead and tell me everything you know."

"I didn't get this money, they all had a share..."

The man didn't hesitate much, but what he said implicated bigger and bigger things.

Several others also felt a little stressed, but Lance just said a light word about it.

"record on file."

…

In the police profession, you can find all kinds of trivial things, and it is not surprising to see the diversity of human species.

I finally took a vacation and thought I could rest for a few days, but just one day later I was called up to work overtime again.

Then he quickly started running around frequently under William's organization, knocking on doors one after another and taking away one person.

The people who had originally invaded by the melon-eating cultists and nobles soon turned around and began to inquire. However, the information was kept secret during the handling of the case, and they were not able to obtain much information.

The situation here also makes those outsiders a little curious.

There are too many things going on in Hamlet, right?

The blood moon came some time ago, and it finally dawned, but then the remnants of the cult and the surrounding nobles invaded.

The cultists here just walked around the square and immediately arrested many people in the afternoon.

This environment is full of uncertainty and chaos, giving people an inexplicable feeling of exhaustion.

But unfortunately, except for the blood moon, these things actually have no effect on them.

This strange feeling really makes them feel indescribably weird, but curiosity is human nature, and they also want to eat melons...

What's interesting is that after being taken away, these people went not to the police station, but to the school.

House them separately and interrogate them separately.

As the lord said, it happened to be a school holiday, and there were plenty of classrooms to accommodate them, to see whether there were more students or more them.

While William and the others were busy investigating and interrogating, Lance finally had a good meal with meat and vegetables with the orphans left behind in the school.

"So don't listen to the nonsense of those guys. They use various slogans to make you eat bread. They eat and drink in private rooms. You must learn to think for yourself and learn to protect your own rights..."

Lance left a message for them, hoping that they can live a good life in the future.

On the other hand, William also came to the lord with more and more interrogation transcripts, hoping to get an accurate way of handling them.

Because many people here don't know about this, they just think that everyone has a share of the normal subsidy, so they take it.

No one knew about this, so naturally it was impossible to get involved. He was just an unlucky guy who was dragged into the water for no reason.

But among these, some people were also found out about other matters, and other people were involved. The complicated situation really gave William a headache.

"We will get to the bottom of the investigation, but the procedures must be completed. We cannot extract confessions or kill people."

Lance gave his opinion. After all, he is not a person who likes to see blood, and killing people has no meaning.

"Those who did not actively participate, and the amount is not large, will be recovered and fined, demerits will be recorded, and they will not need to go to labor camps.

If the person is informed and the amount reaches a certain amount, in addition to the basic punishment, he will be dismissed from public office and must go to a labor camp. As for the length of time, it depends on the specific amount and whether there are other crimes to be punished at the same time.

There is also a third category, that is, the leaders are so bad that their homes must be searched, their immediate family members must be expelled, and they themselves must be sent directly to a nursing home. "

Lance was not afraid at all that they would involve many people, and he even wished that the more people the better.

The reason is very simple. Hamlet is developing too fast, and many people can't keep up. However, because of their qualifications, Lance can't touch them without causing trouble.

And Hamlet only has such a small place. If they don't retreat, others will not be able to move up. Lance did not spend resources on educating those outstanding workers and peasants to continue their studies to keep them working.

Now that I have picked up a good batch of them, Lance no longer has to keep them, and can continue to serve Hamlet in a more reasonable place.

After all, a lot of roads will need to be built after the Hamlet territory is restored, and it depends on their efforts.

Don't talk politics to Lance, he doesn't know what compromise is.

Don't talk about unity, no one can touch you unless you commit a crime.

It was he who gave the lord the power, not the lord's status that gave him the power.

In fact, this matter could not be kept secret for long, and soon some news spread, and a very interesting phenomenon occurred.

The locals felt that the lord had done a good job, especially those parents with children in school, and they were eager to hang those with hair in their mouths in the square.

It has to be said that several criminals have been executed in this way before, and the dried and rotten corpses hung on it are very ornamental. As a result, the hanging square is similar to "Caishikou beheading" in the minds of the people.

But this is not the case for outsiders, who find it difficult to understand.

In their impression, bureaucrats are assistants to the rule of the aristocracy. Why do they want to work for your aristocracy? It must be beneficial. Taking advantage of the power in hand to accept bribes, embezzlement, and bullying is not strange at all. It would be strange if they don't do these things. As long as it does not delay the master's business, this is the rule.

But in Hamlet, what is this but taking food from the mouths of orphans?

Even if you really want to give an explanation, just deal with one of them directly. Everyone will look good. As for arresting so many people, the punishment is so severe.

This is breaking the rules. Who will dare to do things for you in the future?

Those people were very dissatisfied with this lord who liked to toss, and some even dared to laugh at the lord's stupidity and arrogance after drinking two glasses of beer.

In fact, it’s easy to guess what they were thinking. After coming here for so long, they got nothing. Instead, they encountered all kinds of unlucky things one after another. Blood Moon was even trapped here, and the negative emotions were attributed to the lord Lance. .

Even if Lance knew, he probably wouldn't care, but it's hard to say for the others. The bartender refused to buy a drink for him. He wanted to cause trouble, but he was thrown out of the bar. I hope he can learn to respect others.

But as those people said, Lance did break the tacit agreement of the aristocracy.

It can be said that Hamlet also absorbed a lot of intellectuals in the early stage. You need to know the origins of those who can read in this era.

No one can deny that with their help, Hamlet quickly got on the right track, especially in school, where the proportion of this group is even higher.

These people still have illusions about the rules of the old era, thinking that there is an unclear tacit understanding between the lords and the bureaucrats.

The previous two times, one was a riot and the other was a spy, both caused a big storm, and basically everyone involved was punished.

The previous two purges were related to rebellions, which shook the rule of the lords, and no one would be pitiful even if they wanted to die.

But this time it was purely economic corruption, and many of them were implicated with a little money.

However, they were still severely interrogated, followed by criticism and punishment, and some were even sent to labor camps.

This was psychologically unbearable for them. Although many of them were released due to the small amount of money and lack of knowledge, they turned around and resigned voluntarily.

What about Lance? I almost laughed out loud. It would be best if you are willing to get out of the way.

Just give them all, and let them go as much as they come, which means there is no intention of retaining them at all.

Do you really think he doesn’t know what bureaucrats are like under the aristocratic system?

He knows very well that the reason why bureaucrats need to find extra money is because the nobles who do their job are not willing to pay them wages, so they acquiesce in making money.

But the problem is that Hamlet's public salary is very good. Not only the salary, but also the treatment is absolutely guaranteed.

It is not difficult for one person to raise a family of five. You must know that this is above the average living standard. If your position rises, you will get better benefits.

So they are not satisfied with this. They didn't do their job well, but used their power to get privileges and make money. That means they are not the same kind of people. They should get out of here as far as possible.

What era is it now? Do you really think you are a treasure? You still want to blackmail him?

If the ancestor hadn't died, Lance might have to consider it. After all, stability is the most important thing.

But now the ancestor is gone, and to put it bluntly, their backers are gone.

Hamlet has nothing but a lot of people.

If you don't want to do it, there are people who will do it.

Lance has long been optimistic about a group of people who learn and grow quickly when they get opportunities from the bottom. These people who are full of passion and vitality like the rising sun are the future of Hamlet.

More importantly, these people are loyal enough. Although I don't know how many of them can resist temptation, at least they can believe it now.

Many people will take the rest of their vacation this time, while some will be hurriedly called to the school for on-the-job training before they finish their vacation.

The first lesson is integrity, and the teaching materials are naturally the living cases next to them.

That was a rare opportunity for the lord to teach them.

Not only those people, but also many officials were here. What was even more outrageous was that some of them were arrested.

Lance did not tell them all kinds of empty words. Instead, he directly exposed the reason for the so-called tacit understanding between the nobles and the bureaucrats, which was to some extent an excuse for the behavior of those bureaucrats.

But soon, this funny tacit understanding was exposed by comparing the treatment between the two.

"Everything you have is provided by ordinary people, and even a large part of you were once ordinary people. You have been persecuted before, so why do you want to hurt them?"

Lance's tone was very calm, and he shook his head slowly and sighed: "I don't want to see this. This is not Hamlet. You disappoint me..."

The harm these words gave to those people was even more painful than the interrogation, and many people cried directly.

Seeing that, other people also had complicated expressions, ambition, greed, paralysis, and would fall into the abyss if they were not careful.

This was not a trial meeting, but just an education.

Lance directly trained those people later. Why wasn't he afraid that they would resign?

Because [Voice of Charm] allows Lance to train batches of excellent students in a short period of time.

"Soon the entire territory of Hamlet will be recovered. Are you willing to go to those difficult places to help them?"

"For Hamlet!"

"Okay, Hamlet is really lucky to have you, and I am proud to have you!"

While Lance was training those students, Reynard also completed the elimination of those cultists, which means that the real war is about to begin...
